It Takes Four Men....

I'm not being sexist, I'm just quoting something I hadn't seen before.

"It takes four men to dress a salad: a wise man for the salt, a madman for the pepper, a miser for the vinegar, and a spendthrift for the oil."

Sounds fairly correct to me. Any comments or additions?

A humble man for the mustard and a gardener for the herbs.

Good additions!

One more addition: A woman to pour it in the bowl to keep the men from overdoing it.

Or just substitute "person" and "people" for "man" and "men" and you've come into the 21st century with the rest of us.

But then I wouldn't be quoting, I'd be paraphrasing.

It's an anonymous quote.
